Newmarket

The form book marks her out as the top-rated horse in this field by a clear eight pounds, which is a significant edge on paper — but she has only run twice in her life and never on dry ground, so there are real questions to answer. Her trainer has gone winless in the last fortnight, and her odds have drifted since markets opened, suggesting punters have some reservations too.

Has been off the track for nearly six months and has never raced on dry ground, which are two genuine unknowns heading into this. Oisin Murphy is in sharp form right now, winning 6 from 21 in the last fortnight, which helps — but her last run at this very course saw her beaten six lengths in a Class 1, and she faces stiffer company again here.

Just one race on the clock — a win at Doncaster in October — but William Haggas clearly thinks enough of her to aim straight at listed company, and the market has responded by pushing her price in from 7.5 to 5.0. The catch is she has never raced on dry ground and the step up from that debut to this field is enormous, so everything depends on how much ability is still hidden.

The most experienced horse in this field by a distance, with six races and the best win rate of anyone here — roughly 1 in every 3 races. However, she was well beaten at Newbury just 15 days ago and faces a notable step up in class from her recent win at Kempton, so the question is whether her consistency at a lower level translates here.
